Default Re: to install two os on the same drive partition

VMware is a neat little peice of software that acts as if you are installing something on a totally fresh system. When you want to install a new OS all you have to do is create a new user and install it like you were on a new hard drive. You partition the hard drive within VMware and everything, there are even BIOS settings. You would swear that you are installing the OS on a different machine. One thing, make sure you have a big enough hard drive. I originally installed it on my PC with a 20 GB hard drive and it ate memory like crazy (i.e. 512 wasn't enough to keep it from giving me memory errors), I then upgraded to a 60 GB hard drive and I didn't have any problems what-so-ever. I find it great if you want to test webpages on different OSs (meaning Windows, Unix, and Mac) but it also works great for creating a dual OS system. You can download the free trial version at http://www.vmware.com/download/workstation.html (you have to register to get a evalutation serial number but you can always just out in bogus info.). I hope that this software works for you guys, and let me know what you think.

P.S. If need be, I have a key generator made by DAMN. If you want it I will e-mail it to you, I'm curious to see if it works. (Of course only use the key generator if you already own the software, right )
